Three-dimensional numerical simulation of temperature and flow fields in a Czochralski growth of germanium

Authors

Abstract:

For a Czochralski growth of Ge crystal, thermal fields have been analysed numerically using the three-dimensional finite volume method (FLUENT package). The arrangement used in a real Czochralski crystal growth lab included a graphite crucible, heat shield, heating device, thermal insulation and chamber including two gas outlets. We have considered two cases for calculations, which are configuration containing (a) only gas and (b) melt and gas, related to initial stages of the growth process (seeding process). It has been assumed that the growth system is in steady state, fluids are incompressible Newtonian fluids and the flow is laminar. It was shown that the thermal field in the growth setup is completely three-dimensional. Especially, the temperature field at the melt free surface has not a uniform radial distribution due to the three-dimensional orientation of Argon flow above it.

Experimental Study and Three-Dimensional Numerical Flow Simulation in a Centrifugal Pump when Handling Viscous Fluids

In this paper the centrifugal pump performances are tested when handling water and viscous oils as Newtonian fluids. Also, this paper shows a numerical simulation of the three-dimensional fluid flow inside a centrifugal pump. For these numerical simulations the SIMPLEC algorithm is used for solving governing equations of incompressible viscous/turbulent flows through the pump. The k-ε turbulenc...

a comparative study of the theme of "marriage" in three victorian novelists: charles dickens, george eliot and thomas hardy

این تحقیق کوشیده است با انتخاب پنج رمان از میان آثار برگزیده، «چارلز دیکنز»، «جورج الیوت» و «توماس هاردی » و با رویکردی تطبیقی به بررسی درونمایه ی «ازدواج» در آثار این سه رمان نویس بزرگ دوره ی ویکتوریا بپردازد. فرضیه ی اولیه ی تحقیق این بوده است که چارلز دیکنز (1870- 1812) با زبانی شوخ و گزنده، جورج الیوت(1880- 1819) با نگاهی آموزشی–اندرزگونه و توماس هاردی(1928- 1840) با رویکردی تلخ وانتقادی به...

Three-dimensional Numerical Simulation of Metal Flow and Solidification in the Multi-cavity Casting Moulds of Automotive Components

The liquid metal flow and the solidification behaviours in a multi-cavity casting mould of two automotive cast parts were simulated in three dimensions. The commercial code, FLOW-3D® was used because it can track the front of the molten metal by a Volume of Fluid (VOF) method and allows complicated parts to be modeled by the Fractional Area/Volume Obstacle Representation (FAVOR) meth...

Numerical Simulation of Three-Dimensional Dendritic Growth.

Dendritic crystal growth in a pure undercooled melt is simulated quantitatively in three dimensions using a phase-field approach. The classic parameter s that characterizes the dynamically selected operating state of the dendrite tip as well as the full nonaxisymmetric tip morphology are determined as a function of anisotropy for a crystal with a cubic symmetry. Results are compared to experime...
